Eastern Iowa (CID) Airport Car Service

CID (officially The Eastern Iowa Airport, also referred to historically as the Cedar Rapids Municipal Airport) sits about 10 miles south of downtown Cedar Rapids in Linn County, Iowa, accessible via Interstate 380 and Wright Brothers Boulevard. The airport is owned by the City of Cedar Rapids and operated by the Cedar Rapids Airport Commission. Delta, American, United, Allegiant, and Frontier provide scheduled commercial service from a single terminal building. CID serves both Cedar Rapids and Iowa City (Iowa's two cities along the Interstate 380 corridor). Our chauffeurs stage at the commercial vehicle lane outside the terminal.

CID to downtown Cedar Rapids runs about 15 minutes via Interstate 380 northbound, and CID to downtown Iowa City runs about 25 to 30 minutes via Interstate 380 southbound. We handle daily transfers to downtown Cedar Rapids hotels including the DoubleTree by Hilton Cedar Rapids Convention Complex and the Hotel at Kirkwood Center, plus Iowa City hotels including the Graduate Iowa City and the Hilton Garden Inn Iowa City Downtown.

Collins Aerospace Cedar Rapids (the avionics and communications operation, now part of RTX Corporation following the 2020 merger, headquartered in Cedar Rapids with a large engineering and manufacturing workforce) runs about 15 to 20 minutes from CID via Interstate 380, and Quaker Oats Cedar Rapids (the historic cereal manufacturing complex, the largest cereal plant in the world by volume) runs about 15 minutes downtown. We hold standing accounts with both companies and run weekly CID rotations.

University of Iowa Commencement Weekend (mid May, with separate ceremonies for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Tippie College of Business, the Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, and the College of Law) generates the heaviest family transportation demand of our Eastern Iowa year. We require eight to ten weeks of lead time for graduation weekend SUV and Sprinter bookings, since Iowa City hotel inventory fills four to six months ahead.

Dispatch runs around the clock with a live human on the line, and we operate red eye arrivals, 4 am Collins Aerospace early shift transfers, and late night Hawkeye football game day tailgate pickups during home football Saturdays. There is no surcharge for late night or early morning service on standard bookings.
